Abyssinian Cat Compilation
The Abyssinian /æbɪˈsɪniən/ is a breed of domestic short-haired cat with a distinctive “ticked” tabby coat, in which individual hairs are banded with different colors. In nomenclature terms, they are also known as simply Abys.The breed is named for Abyssinia (now called Ethiopia), where it is believed to have originated.
In terms of the domestication of cats, analysis has found the Abyssinian to be one of the oldest types of the animal in existence, with mummified cats in Egyptian tombs studied by archaeologists appearing similar to the modern breed’s standards.[citation needed] Although regarded as comparatively obscure in the past as a breed compared to others, the Abyssinian currently ranks among the top five most popular breeds worldwide.
The breed’s distinctive appearance, seeming long, lean, and finely colored compared to other cats, has been analogized to that of human fashion models. Personality-wise, the cats traditionally display active, curious attitudes in which they frequently follow owners around and encourage play, being regarded as the “Clowns of the Cat Kingdom.”[3] Their dog-like characteristics also involve a particular sense of affection and desire for interaction.

People keep telling me about how rare and pricey these cats are. Meanwhile, I got mine because they were just hanging out in my backyard all the time.
Abyssinian means Ethiopia- Somaliland Region of East Africa..
This is the same cat loved by the Pharaohs of Egypt which is depicted in their hieroglyphics or in other words their ancient writings
Videos don't do them justice in person they are the most beautiful cat I've ever seen
Fun Fact: Abyssinian cats were known for guarding temples in Ancient Egypt and Abyssinia (Ethiopia today). They basically are the security guard version of dogs like Police dogs which the German Shepherd is pretty good at
